The 18th property for the hot spring ryokan brand name “KAI.” The interior concept recreates a unique<br />
and dramatic hot spring-style townscape using charred cedar planks and the color kakishibu - a traditional<br />
Japanese color, similar to a yellow-red, with tones of gray. With this calming color palette in the<br />
background, washi-paper lanterns and other luminaires dot the interior. Just as the view of Beppu Bay<br />
from the window changes from moment to moment, the scenery inside the building changes as well,<br />
including the light of the fresh dawn and festive light in the evening. Guests can enjoy this relaxing<br />
atmosphere and refreshing night air with many different lighting scenes.
